Menlopark Muurbal Akademie – WHERE CHAMPIONS DEVELOP
The Menlopark Muurbal Akademie (MMA) Programme started in 2001 when the school refurbished and upgraded the squash complex which consists of 4 glass-backed courts adjoining a fully equipped gymnasium. The objective of the MMA is to provide quality coaching and training for the learners of Die Hoërskool Menlopark. It has grown steadily every year, achieving the ultimate goal in South African Schools’ squash by winning the National Top Schools title in 2008. Other achievements include regular selection of MMA players into the South African National Age Group Teams to Namibia, UK and Malaysia. In 2008, the MMA’s No 1 player was selected as the Captain of the South African Junior Men’s Team to the World Championships in Switzerland. Although the MMA is run independently of the school through the World of Squash Programme, it carries the full support of the teaching staff and Head Master. Classes and sessions are co-ordinated with the academic timetable of the athletes. The motto of “Where Champions Develop” is the cornerstone to the success of all the athletes who participate in the Programme, as reaching every child’s full potential is our objective. To ensure that world class expertise is at the forefront of the Programme, specialist coaches are invited to present sessions to the various groups within the MMA. Any interested Menlopark learner is welcome to join the MMA, as sessions are ability based and cater for beginners as well as Provincial and National players. The MMA is a satellite programme of TuksSquash, and the athletes benefit by the involvement of the Univ of Pretoria’s B Sport Science students as well as the support services of the Tuks High Performance Centre’s Physiotherapists, Bio-kineticists, Sport Psychologists and Nutritionists.
